IV. Sight Reading from Prose Authors and from Ovid. 

The examination in the authors will include (besides idiomatic 
translation) questions on the construction and subject-matter, and, 
in Vergil, on the prosody. 

For collateral reading are suggested : — Plutarch's Lives of Cato 
and Cicero ; Forsyth's (or Trollope's) Cicero ; Nettleship's Vergil, — 
in " Green's Classical Writers " ( Appleton) ; Martin's Horace, — in 
" Ancient Classics for English Readers " (Lippincott) ; the sections 
in Cruttwell's History of Roman Literature bearing on the above 
authors. 

Students in both courses should, if possible, have Harper's 
Latin Dictionary ; Allen & Greenough's [edition of i888] (or, 
Harkness', or, Gildersleeve's) Latin Grammar ; Cruttwell's Roman 
Literature ; Smith's Classical Dictionary ; Becker's Gallus ; a His- 
tory of Rome, — Mommsen's History (for the Republic) and 
Merivale's (for the Empire) are the fullest and best ; good compends 
are Merivale's General History of Rome, Leighton's History, the 
sections on Rome in Fisher's Universal History, and Gilman's Story 
of Rome. 

In both courses, in connection with the minute study of the 
assigned texts, there should be rapid or "sight" reading from the 
start. For this exercise in acquiring a large vocabulary and the 
ability to easily use the language and literature, are recommended 
such books as Eutropius, Nepos, Caesar's Gallic War, Cicero's 
Tusculan Questions, the last six books of Vergil's Aeneid, the Latin 
Testament, the Colloquies of Erasmus.
